"It is with regret that we have to announce that Anathema's scheduled show in Hristo Botev Hall in Sofia, Bulgaria on May 6th has been cancelled. The promoter is in breach of contract and it is impossible for the show to go ahead. Some of you may be familiar with this story as this is not the first time that this promoter has let people down.

As always this decision was out of Anathema's hands. They were looking forward to their first gig in Bulgaria. The band wish to apologise to their Bulgarian audience. Vincent had this to say:

"It is a big disappointment for us. We've been waiting years for this opportunity to finally play in Bulgaria. I had a great feeling about that one. I was looking forward to sharing a new and unique experience over there but unfortunately it wasn't to be this time. We hope it will be possible to reschedule a Bulgarian gig to coincide with the European tour in the Autumn"
